I had a great years. I accomplished some goals and reached some milestones.

Here are my top 10 moments:

1. Published my first novel, Another New Life on June 2, 2014.
2. Got my first fan letter from a reader who told me her story and express to me how much my story touched her. –Huge thank you to everyone who contact me and told me how my books effected them. 
3. Published my second novel, Hope for Her (Hope Series Book #1).
4. Discovered two amazing groups of writers who helped me celebrate the good and got me through the bad. New Adult Street Team & 80,000 Words – Thank you both for giving me a safe place. Love you. 
5. Took a life changing trip to New York – Will schedule a solo writing retreat every year from now on.
6. My tattoos – one to remind me why I do this, one to celebrate milestone #1 & one that turned into a bonding ritual  with my friend (love you Maggie) and my brother (love you Kevin).
7. Published my third novel, Hope for Him (Hope Series Book #2) – My favorite book I’ve written up to that point. 
8. Help create and publish an anthology, Love Addiction. It hasn’t done as well as expected, but I gain so much knowledge about myself and others from the experience.
9. Started a new business, SAM & Associates LLC. -One step closer to being my own boss.
